Mhern Elncatinn TellS

'People make great mistake in de-
string their boys to enter what are called
the learned professions" said one man to
another in the lobby of theatre between
the acts. ''Now, my boy will graduate
from the high school in a few
weeks and intend to apprentice him to
an acquaintance of mine who owns a
mill up town. Some of those loom boss
es and foremen around factories make
splendid wages, far more than the aver
age professional man earns. People
think that when a boy has been well
schooled he should not be put in such a
place as mill, but tell you its the place
for education to tell, as the competition
there is not so great in that respect. y

PRICE THREE CENTS.
A Desperate Fight.

"Our regiment did a good deal of
fighting during the war;" says b. p.
Critchell in the Cincinnati Times-Star.
"About the hottest fight we ever got
into was on Mission Ridge. We were
close enough to the Confeds to shake
hands with them, and they fought like
tiends incarnate. We were too close to
each other to reload our guns, and the
boys were using their weapons for clubs.
There was tan, raw-boned Johnny
gunner, who was fighting like the very
Old Nick himself. lie was laying about
him with heavy gun swab, and he
seemed to me to be the biggest man
ever laid eyes on. A half-dozen of our boys
went at him, but he stood his ground.
A heavy revolver, all the cartridges dis
charged was thrown at him. 1t struck
him full in the face with force sufficient
to knock out bull, but he only shook
his head and went to work again. l
threw up my Sergeant Majors sword and
cracked away at the swab, and I'd
almost be willing to bet the pieces Of
my blade are flying around there yet.
1t shattered it clear to the hilt. The
big Confed wouldn't yield an inch, and
finally one of our boys, Cincinnatian
named Boyd, who died here few years
ago, caught him off his guard and
rammed a bayonet clear through him
with such force that the barrel, too,
passed out of the other side of the big
fellows body. Well sir, that man,
mortally wounded, didn't give up, and
as he lay there on the bloody turf, with
his entrails hanging from the awful hole
in his stomach, he grabbed pistol and
winged another boy in blue before he
died That was about the wickedest
fight I ever got into.

Killed by an Orange Seed.

Henry Chatfeld, of Brooklyn, died
recently of the effect of the lodgment OF
an orange seed in his intestines. He had
been ill for several weeks with inflamma-
tion of the intestines, followed by ulcera-
tion. DR.. Emerson, his physician, called
in DR.. William Gilfillan for consultation,
and they, having decided that an opera
ton was necessary, procured the assist
ance of DIR. F. II. Cotton. The three
doctors made an incision, and after re-
moving quantity of pus found the
source of trouble and removed it. The
patient, however, was unable to rally
from the shock, and died about four
o'clock. DR.. Giltillan said to SIN re-
porter:
"The operation was a desperate one,
and was undertaken only as last resort.
There was no possibility of saving the
patient otherwise. The orange seed was
found lodged in the appendix vermi-
formis. This is a small sac attached to
one part of the intestines. What pur-
pose it serves is not exactly known. 1t
is, however, a sort of trap, always ready
to catch and hold hard substances pass
ing through the intestines. The lodg-
ment of such substances in it is not in
variably fatal, but the exceptions are
tare. Seeds of oranges, rasins, and SINH
lar fruits are peculiarly liable to be caught
in this way. Is it dangerous to eat
oranges9 We'll, I suppose in a city of
this size there is one case a year of death
from such a cause. Very frequently it is

Flies Walk Up.

81 have only known of one instance
where badness proved remunerative,"
said an old gentleman to a st. Louis
Globe writer. "a friend of mine, who had
shining pate, fell into the habit watching
the actions of his tormentoss, the flies.
He noticed that fly always walks up
ward. Put fly Oh window, and up
he goes toward the top; he can't be made
to walk downward So my friend hit
upon an idea, Why not use that habit
against them2 Forthwith he made a
window screen, divided in half. The
upper half Tapped over the lower, with
an inch of space between. We'll, as soon
as a fly would light on the screen he
would proceed to travel upward, and
would thus walk straight outdoors. On
reaching the top of the lower half he
would be outside. Not being able to
walk down, he had no way to return to
the room. By this means room can be
quickly cleared of flies, which always
seek the light. Ny friend has got out
patent, and proposes to begin sys-
tematic war against the household pest. "

New Cadets Riding at West Point.

Mounting the stairs to the gallery, we
look down upon large space strewn
with tanbark, at one end of which is
row Of some twenty horses with water
ing brides. Soon the performers file in
and come to a halt in front of the horses.
Do they intend to ride only with the
watering bride, without even saddle or
blanket2 They will try to, at all events.
The instructor commands:
"Stand to horse! Prepare to mount.
Mountw
In obedience to his command the ca
diets spring, struggle, leap, and kick in
their endeavors to bestride their steeds.
The moment they are mounted several
horses develop astonishing bucking pro-
pensities, to the anguish of their riders
and the delight of the gallery. Now
they start around the hall at walk.
1t seems rather tame, doesn't it? Bus
soon the command "trot" is given, and
the fun begins. The poor fellows bounce
about on the horses backs like India
rubber boys, and wabblc from side to side
like jumping jacks. The trot is accelerat-
ed, the horses take the gallop, and dash
around the hall, tumbing their riders in
heaps at the corners, while those who by
chance are still mounted grasp frantical-
ly at their horses names. Finally, tho
gait is reduced to a walk; line is formed !;
the dismounted yearlmgs, nothing daunt-
ed catch their horses and remount, and
then the performance is repcated.-Lst.

Boats of the CcyIon Natives.

The natives of Ceylon have queer boats.
They are quite long, and so narrow, says
correspondent, that could not keep In
one of them without putting one leg in
front of the other. The whole affair
stands well up out of the water and is
kept from capsizing by long balance
log about six feet out from the boat and
secured to it by two lightly curved spars.
All that saw had small square rags for
sails, which could only be set with a free
wind. When the wind gets strong one
or more of the crew arc sent out to squat
on the balance log, the number found
necessary for this purpose denoting the
strength of the wind-thus they speak
of one man gale two man gale and so
on. They are said to be excellent sea-
boats and to make good speed, but no
one accuses them of being comfortable

Poisonous Baby Carriages.

poisonous Perambulators, says the
British Medical Journal, ''are prob
ably one of the least suspected of dam
gers, yet, nevertheless, one which expe-
rience has shown to exist, and, therefore,
one against which the parents of fam
ilv would do well TO be on their guard.
A case is recorded this week of child,
aged four months, who, on its return
after being out under hot sun, was
seized with sickness and vomiting, the
vomited matter being a green colored
fluid. From inquiries made by the med
ical man it was elected that the child had
been seen to suck green strap of the
perambulator, and the true cause of the
mischief was at once suspected, namely,
arsenic poisoning. An analytical exami-
nation of the strap confirmed this view,
arsenic being found to be present in great
abundance In spite of all that medical
aid could effect, the child gradually sank
from exhaustion.

The Strongest Butter.

Gov. Seward used to tell story about
Gov. Draper, who was dining one day at
the Congress Hall Hotel, where the but
ter happened to be particularly rank
'Here, John, said Draper to favorite
waiter who was standing behind him,
"John, take this butter away; some peo-
pie like their butter stronger than
Others" John took the plate, held it up
to his nose a moment with the air of a
connoisseur, then put it back again in
its place, and observed in a firm voice
"sIisthcr Draper, that is the strongest
butter in the house. ~ American Grocer.

A Quiet Stream.

"A Quiet stream
Flowed through level meadow-all day long
Its voice was heard in murmurous melody,
That half a whisper seemed, and half song
Yet no one paused to hear its harmony,
Or marked the brightness of its sunny gleam,
But where its course
Was half arrested by the rugged stone
1t swelled and bubbled till with new born
power
1t leaped the barrier, all its weakness gone
It's spray ascending in silvery shower,
Its onward way pursued with added force
Its beauty then
The artist praised the poet sang, until
Came many to admire the pretty scene,
Half marvelling at the strength OF such a
rill--
A silver ribbon parting banks of green,
Swift as an arrow, deeper than their ken.

What 1t Costs to Keep a Yacht.

"What does it cost to keep a yachts"
asked reporter recently. The yachtman
addressed replied: "Well, that depends
on the kind of yacht. Take yacht
like the most of those owned by wealthy
men, and the necessary running expenses
are never less than $500 per month. You
will have to pay 500 for your captain,
$50 for first mate, $40 for second
mate, s35 for a boatswain, and $50 each
to six seamen. Then the cook costs $40.
and incidental expenses add up another
S25. To all this you must add repairs
to yacht, provisions, towing and so on.
If you are going to entertain people,
your yacht will cost anywhere from $500
to S., 600 month, according to the scale
of your hospitality. Keeping yacht is
almost as expensive as keeping racing
stable.-N y Sun.

Our importers that goods destined for

so suicidally short-sighted that it will
shortly work its own cure. No sort OF

mistake as to thus kill the goose that
lays the golden egg for him, he will
cut wisdom teeth at very early day,
and reconstruct his methods so radi-
cally that he will not drive the second
